The Afric Star

Blue Star Line Passenger/Cargo ship.

This large and popular model is of one of the Blue Star line fleet, the hull features the "bulbous" bow as found on this and many other modern merchant ships. The bow shape along with the length and beam make this hull an excellent all weather performer on the water, owing to its large size, and the large superstructure (which can easily be made removable, giving excellent hull access) it has plenty of room for electric power or even a steam plant.

The hull features the main side loading doors, panama ports and top trim line, it is supplied complete with large and well detailed plan by Nexus, this makes it suitable for builders of all experience. When built it looks really impressive on the water.

Atlantic Conveyor

Scale:144th scaleHull:58.1 inchBeam:7.3/8 inchDraft:

The ATLANTIC CONVEYOR and her sister ship Atlantic Causeway were taken up from trade at an early stage of the Falklands War, they were to act as emergency aircraft transports and carriers when at the Falklands, whilst on convoy to the Islands they were attacked with Exocet missiles and the ATLANTIC CONVEYOR was sunk with a large loss of life. She thus became the first British merchant vessel to be lost to enemy action since WWII.

With the full assistance of the Cunard Steamship Co, we have produced a fully detailed scale hull of this fast container ship, the hull features distinctive bulbous bow, full waterline, side ACL logos, side loading doors, anchor recesses, panama ports and all other hull cut outs. The hull is ideal for R/C. and electric power and makes an impressive and stable on the water model capable of sailing in rough conditions.

The plans are truly superbly detailed, being drawn for us by MARBETH DESIGNS, at N gauge the use of model railway containers make an ideal deck cargo and Matchbox harrier kits will complete a Falklands version, This is a big, beautiful hull with masses of interesting detail, yet thanks to the highly detailed plans easy to build by beginner or expert alike.

Azteca fast petrol craft

Scale:32nd scale Hull:40 inchBeam:9 inchDraft:

Vosper Thorneycroft Patrol Boat Design.

The AZTECA class was specifically designed to meet exacting multi-role requirements. The AZTECA class heralded a new era in the development of fast patrol craft, with a beam 30% greater than earlier patrol boat designs of the same length. Their excellent sea keeping design was proved by a trans Atlantic delivery voyage undertaken in severe weather conditions on delivery of one unit to the Mexican Navy in early 1976.

Our hull follows the full size design, round bilge aft with moulded knuckle forward, where-as the full size was made from welded steel our model hull is superbly moulded in GRP. The full size vessels were powered by Paxman diesels of either 3,600bhp or 4,800bhp, both set-ups giving speeds in excess of 30knots, this performance can be equally achieved using 540 type motors to power our hull.

The model is comparatively easy to build, however appearance on the water is attractive, with a removable superstructure, interior access is good and the hull will take quite bad weather conditions, making her a good regatta model a little bit out of the ordinary.

Twin Screw Diesel Motor Vessel

M.S.BALMORAL was built at Thorneycrofts in Southampton and was launched on the 27th June 1949 for Red Funnel Steamers (Southampton, Isle of Wight & South of England Royal Mail Steam Packet Co.,Ltd.) as a passenger and car ferry to operate from Southampton to the Isle of Wight. Her design is said to have been influenced by the recently completed motor yacht built for Lord & Lady Docker, what ever the truth the resultant design of the BALMORAL makes for one of the most beautiful vessels of her period. Now owned by the Paddle Steamer Preservation Society she is a familiar sight around the coast giving pleasure cruises and excursions.

The full-size plan shows the BALMORAL as originally built with after car deck, but she is easily modified to her present design. Fitted with R/C and twin screw electric propulsion she looks and performs really nicely on the water.

CELIA JANE

Thames Sailing Barge.

Model Scale = ½" to 1ft. (1:24)

Length….. 50" (+Bowsprit) Beam…11 ½"

The Thames Sailing Barge CELIA JANE was first published as a large plans feature in the Model Boats magazine, she has now been developed into a comprehensiveHULL, PLANS & MATERIALS pack.

The CELIA JANE was a large Coastal type barge originating from around the turn of the century, although not fitted with a bowsprit she most certainly was at one stage fitted with one, as a model she makes a really wonderful sight on the water, the prototype sailed well and was fun to use, with our package listed below she is not too difficult or time consuming to make and indeed could be tackled by the more ambitious beginner.

Our beautifully moulded one piece GRP hull is moulded to the top of the bulwark level and has the side rubbing strips, bow & stern posts all moulded in, very little work is required to get the hull ready for work.

There is a very comprehensive set of drawings to go with this pack, these make for easy and straightforward construction of the model.

This is a new Template drawing, it shows all deck beams (drawn full-size) full-size deck pieces, all hatch, wheelhouse, scuttle, hatch covers etc. As all are drawn full-size they can be transferred directly to the ply sheets for cutting out and glueing together, this drawing also shows the position of all deck beams..

This is a new Template drawing, it shows full-size all the sails, with all their details and stitching, it is fully annotated for use and should make the actual making of the sails fairly straightforward.

This manual has been written to specifically aid the building of the model, it goes through step by step the suggested construction sequence for making the model, it includes how to make and rig the model, making the sails (including shrinking, dying etc) what threads to use. How to paint the model and fit Radio Control if required, it includes a list of other suppliers for what fittings are available. And a list of model and full-size barge sailing associations.

The above package allows for a really detailed model to be made at 1:24 scale many commercial fittings are available, fitted with two channel RC her performance on the water is really excellent, she makes up into a beautiful model ideal for scale sailing regattas and model barge racing.

CHANT.

WWII Standard Design Channel Tanker.

The CHANT channel tanker was designed during WWII to carry petrol and oil products for the Allied invasion of Europe in 1944, in all 43 were built, some inland in sections. Their straight line designs had no curved or twisted plates and with no sheer gave them a rather ugly appearance which resulted in them being nicknamed "Churchills Holy Answer to the Nazi Terror".

The very well detailed, full-size two sheet plans show a typical wartime CHANT with its armament. The model hull is equally suitable for the dry cargo version "Empire F" class (so called because all their names began "Empire F...") Differences between the two classes being shown on the plans.

A total of 25 vessels of the dry cargo version was built, after the war many were decommisioned and sold into civilian use, some are still believed to be trading in the Mediterranean.

NOTE! Our hull for this model is available in two sizes, 1:48 & 1:32, both make into a very attractive and different model, with the raised forepeak a good heavy weather boat, in fact the larger version will take a steam engine, a good scale model for the beginner or expert alike to tackle.

MOTOR VESSEL CLAN ROSS.

Clan Line Passenger/Cargo Liner.

Our model of the CLAN ROSS is of a Clan Line passenger/cargo liner built be Greenock Shipbuilding Co, (later Scott Lithgow) at Port Glasgow in 1954. One of a large series of ships, CLAN ROSS traded under Clan Lines colours until 1965 when she was transferred to the Clan & Union Castle Line. She was eventually disposed of to Chinese interests in 1972. Very typical of many ships of her day CLAN ROSS was an attractive and well balanced vessel of the traditional three island design, with graceful lines, lots of cargo handling gear and large distinctively capped funnel. Two later ships Clan MacIndoe and Clan MacIlwrath had the whole superstructure moved right aft giving a totally different outline.

Our beautifully moulded large hull features portholes, hull trimline and waterline detail moulded in to assist builders. Supplied complete with very detailed plans drawn for us by MARBETH DESIGNS, this superb hull is ideal for R/C and can be powered with electric motor or a steam plant, with a hull of such high volume there is room for many extra features can be fitted such as electric lights, engine sound, horn, anchors etc.

CLAN ROSS is an excellent subject for the merchant ship lover, the basic hull is of course perfect for conversion to other Clan Line ships, or even liners and merchant vessels of other lines.

Most striking feature was her all 12" (10 No.) main gun armament, one of the biggest revolutionary steps was the fully Parsons turbine power to 4 shafts, this gave a top speed of 21 knots. When first shown she immediately made all other battleships in the world obsolete, (unfortunately this meant that all Royal Navy ships were also obsolete!) Although a battleship, the hull lines are really fine and accurate (made from a Brian King mould), making for an easily driven model, our hull has no plating detail, although it could be said that on a model at this scale plating would not be noticeable. Very good quality full-size plans from A & A show the ship drawn as in 1905. The model is perfect for powering with 545 type motors, performance with R/C will be greatly improved with individual electronic speed controllers. Large scale warships look very good on the water and are a joy to build.

HMS GREY GOOSE was built in 1942 and was one of a series of seven Denny type steam gunboats, planned as miniature destroyers, their steel hulls with steam turbines were intended to give superior type of all weather motor torpedo and gunboats, however their vulnerability to small calibre gunfire (all those steam pipes!) and their poor acceleration proved embarrassing, the intended programme for more vessels was cut back, only the seven GREY boats were built of of a planned 60 boats, they did however prove very useful as high speed stripped down blockade runners going to Sweden to bring back loads of ball-bearings.

At one time commanded by Sir Peter Scot (painter & naturalist) GREY GOOSE achieved her greatest fame when after the war she was converted by Vospers to an experimental gas-turbine powered vessel.

Our large, accurately moulded hull and full size plans make for a really nicely detailed model, ideal for R/C with electric power, however if you are feeling adventurous why not try her with a steam plant, performance with her easily driven hull would be quite fast.

Queen Elizabeth Class 15 inch gun Battleship.

One of a class of eight 35,000ton. battleships of the Queen Elizabeth class HMS Warspite entered service just in time to take part in the Battle of Jutland where she distinguished herself by having a steering failure at a crucial moment and circling out of control in front of the whole German fleet, drawing all their fire, although damaged she was not seriously hurt and after repairs saw service with the home fleet untill armistice. Always in commision between the wars she was extensively re-fitted in the 1930s having a modern style bridge fitted, her gun control updated and boilers and engines replaced, this made her an extreemly useful battleship, being relatively small yet heavily armed with a nippy turn of speed.

On the outbreak of WWII she was stationed at Scapa Flow in the Orkneys, her greatest moment being the second battle of Narvik during the Norwegian campaign, here she sailed up the fjord and sank several german heavy destroyers and merchant ships, a very bold move to take such a large vessel into a very confined waterway.

She saw service in the Meditteranean where she helped the Malta convoys and took part in the battle of Taranto, by the end of the war she mounted over 100 x 20mm. Oerlikons as her wide beam made her an ideal anti-aircraft platform, at one time even firing wooden 15 inch practice shells as Stuka dive bombers (very effective method of putting them off target) she was sent for breaking-up in the early fifties, however to the end she was defiant and had to be broken up where she ran aground off Hartland.

Our hull is truly magnificent, with moulded in plating, torpedo bulges, hawse pipes, bilge keels and propeller shaft outlets, she will make-up into a really beautiful model that will be a practical on the water model, although we have no drawings to go with the hull we feel that anyone interested in having a go will be knowledgeble enough to source their own drawings and details, a real must for the warship enthusiast!

P.S. TALISMAN.

Diesel Powered Clyde Paddle Ship.

Our lovely detailled model hull of the TALISMAN brings all the grace and beauty of the Clyde paddler to the modelller, when built in 1935 the decision to build TALISMAN with diesel power was most unusual as steam was still in its heyday on the Clyde, but the advantages of economy of operation, ease of starting and refuelling and instant speed changes all helped to sway the owners (L.N.E.R.) minds. TALISMAN ran well from 1935 to 1939 when engine damage laid her up, she was repaired when WWII started and was requisitioned in 1940. TALISMAN then became the anti-aircraft ship HMS Aristocrat. D-Day saw her at Arromanches as H.Q. ship for the mulberry harbour there, here she was damaged by enemy gunfire. She was eventually sold for scrap in 1967 after a long and varied career.

Our hull has moulded in side windows and porthole positions, the anchor hawse pipe positions and sponson lines are also there and a full waterline. The model is perfect for electric power and the two sheet plans by Nexus show all detail as well as simplified and fully working paddle drawings, however with some modifications she will also take the Graupner plastic paddle sets, thus making her ideal for the first time builder.

Being taken over by Caledonian-MacBrayne in 1973. She was not entirely succesful and in 1974 she was sold to the Paddle Steamer Preservation Society for the princely sum of £1. Since then the PSPS have formed a seperate company to own and operate the WAVERLEY, called the Waverley Steam Navigation Co Ltd. Since then she has gone fron strength to strength.

Our fantastic model hull is complete with the paddle sponson boxes moulded onto the hull saving a great deal of work, other detail moulded in include window shapes, port hole positions, hawse pipes etc. The drawings are a two sheet set from Marine Modelling, both sheets are full-size and give full details of paddle wheel construction. If you wish to save more time with some modifications the Graupner plastic paddle wheels can be used, made-up she is a beautiful model, always a crowd puller at the lake, fitted with R/C. and individual paddle drive, she steers beautifully, even usable for regattas, a model for beginner or expert alike.

The WOOLRAADT WOLTEMADE was named after a famous South African hero. When she was built in 1976 in Leith, Scotland, for the South African Marine Corporation Ltd, she was the most powerful tug in the world. Her near identical sister ship the S.A. John Ross was built in Durban, both ships were built to provide rescue, salvage and anti-pollution services around the Cape of Good Hope. Powered by two Mirlees KVR Major 16cylinder oil engines producing a total of 26,200ihp. geared to a single controllable pitch propeller running in a fixed nozzle service speeds of 21knots were attained and a bollard pull of 150tons, twin rudders fitted behind the nozzle give a turning circle at full-speed of about two ships lengths, this also means she can stop dead in just over 1.1/2 ship lengths (or 59seconds) in all a very impressive ship.

The well made hull comes complete with single sheet plan, the model when powered by s single 545 with R/C and working bow thruster has handling performance to better the full-size vessel, thus making her ideal for regatta and tug towing work, an impressive and rugged on the water model.

Our hull of the S.S. SHENGKING is for the modeller who loves the beautiful lines of the older vessel, or the modeller who likes to build smaller models. Whatever the reason, S.S. SHENGKING makes a most attractive and unusual model on the water. The original ship was built in 1931 by the Scott Shipbuilding & Eng.,Co. of Greenock for the China Navigation Co Ltd. With steam turbines of 3,600hp. for a cruising speed og 16knots she was capable of much higher speeds, and is reputed to have out run her escorts when doing duty in the Indian ocean as an RAF auxilliary during WWII. Built with a specially strengthened ice breaker bow for service on the rivers of China she was finally scrapped in 1962.

Our lovely hull features port holes, anchor hawse holes, hull cut-outs, trim lines and full water line moulded in. Plans are by Jim Pottinger and come from Nexus, the plans allow for a super detailled model to be built, ideal for R/C. and single electric motor the model looks really good on the water, the superstructure can be made in one piece to lift off and give excellent access to the interior, a model better suited to builders with some previous experience.

Our massively moulded hull includes moulded in rubbing strakes and panama ports, the full size drawings show detail of a typical trawler and form a good basis for a named vessel, as detail is large it is relatively easy to build and many commercial fittings are available to simplify and speed construction.

This is the one of the largest hull we make and her sheer size, with a lift-off superstructure, make her suitable for the installation of large steam engines and boilers, she will however easily take R/C gear and fitted with a large electric motor with a car battery for power will give a tremendous running time, she would in fact be perfect for a 24hr endurance event. As with all large models, when complete she looks absolutely magnificent on the water, she will of course take virtually any weather conditions in her stride.

The above package allows for a really detailed model to be made relatively quickly, at 1:24 scale many commercial fittings are readily available, fitted with twin 545 or 540 motors her performance on the water is excellent, making her ideal for regatta work or just cruising the lake. She is not a difficult model to make and well worth the effort.

The 18No. vessels of the PX class were built for the Royal Malaysian Police by Vosper Shipyards of Singapore between 1963 & 1970, they were built to undertake general policing duties within territorial waters. Powered by twin 2,700hp. Mercedes-Benze diesels these elegant craft had a cruising speed of 15knots and a top speed of 29knots, their crew consisted of 15 officers and men, twin 20mm. OTOMelara cannons being their armament.

They were primarily designed to operate from local ports and not from one large base, crews are recruited locally and equipment designed to be maintained by crew mechanic, fuel could be taken from quay-side tankers or lighter, provisions and stores from local chandlers suppliers, in essence a fairly simple technology vessel manned by crews with local knowledge.

The SEA TROJAN is one of a pair of tugs owned and operated by the Aberdeen Harbour Board. Her sister ship Sea Griffon and herself were built by John Lewis & Sons of Aberdeen in 1962. They are what can be considered to be classic looking tugs, with their large steerable Kortz nozzle they are extremely manoeuvrable and powerful for their size, with a bollard pull of 14tons and a cruising speed of 11.5knots.

Whilst they are a comparatively small tug at 88ft. the model is big and beefy at a scale of 1/2 inch to 1ft. (1:24) the hull is strongly moulded with bulwarks and anchor recesses moulded in.

Our super mouldings set comes complete with a full-size two sheet plan set by IAN L RAE. These plans are extremely accurate and superbly detailed with every fitting drawn and detailed. You will be hard pressed to find better.

Using the mouldings set a large and good looking model can be built fairly quickly, with the availability of fittings to 1:24 scale this is a model that can be tackled even by the beginner. I have seen one made up running on the water, as with all largish models it looked really super, ideal for regatta work and tug-towing events.

The hull was designed in such a way to allow engineering firms to construct it away from the coast. It was then transported to a shipyard for assembly.
The coal burning TIDs had a bunker capacity of approx eight tons and the oil fired tugs approx nine tons. Twice as many coal fired tugs were built as oil fired vessels, although some were converted to oil after the war when purchased by civilians.
Kit comprises of...Hull, Wheelhouse, Front Superstructure, Rear Superstructure, Funnel, Front Bonnet, Doors and Hatches.

T.S.S. Manxman

Scale:86th scaleHull:48 inchBeam:6.5 inchDraft:

Isle of Man Twin Screw Ferry.

The MANXMAM was built at Cammel Laird, Birkenhead for the Isle of Man Steam Packet Co.,Ltd in 1955, her double-reduction geared steam turbines of 9,000ihp gave her a top speed of 21knots, sailing from Liverpool to the Isle of Man as well as excursion trips from Llandudno & other North Irish Sea Ports and resorts, capable of carrying 2,100 passengers.

The full-size plan is of the MANXMAN but with minor modifications following her re-fit, the hull can also be used to model one of the MANXMANS sister ships (Tynwald King Orry, Monas Queen or Snaefell). The plan has enough detail on it to make a really effective model of these the last of the true passenger only ferries.

The hull makes into a realistic looking model on the water and is ideally suited to R/C with electric drive, however a more experienced modeller may well wish to fit a working steam plant, this is a graceful and weatherproof model really suited to the modeller with some previouse experience.
